Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV Season Pass Announced, Will Include New Playable Character

Ubisoft has announced a season pass for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The bundle will include Freedom Cry, a story featuring Edward Kenway's second-in-command, Adewale, in addition to other content.

In addition to the Freedom Cry story, the season pass comes with the Kraken ship pack (sail, wheel, and figurehead); new single-player missions, weapons, skins, and collectibles; and more multiplayer characters.

The season pass will cost $19.99, which Ubisoft says is a 20 percent savings over a la carte purchases of the available content. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be out on October 29, 2013, for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Next-gen versions are coming at the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
